पुराणम्
Englishजाम्बवती / JĀMBAVATĪ. Daughter of the famous jāmbavān. Śrī kṛṣṇa went in search of the famous precious stone syamantaka which was lost when prasena wore it and went to the forest for hunting. kṛṣṇa found it in the cave of jāmbavān, who fought with him and was defeated. Finally he gave his daughter jāmbavatī to śrī kṛṣṇa as wife, and the jewel syamantaka as dowry.
śrī kṛṣṇa came to his capital dvārakā with his wife jāmbavatī. When sons were born to the other wives of kṛṣṇa she became sad and requested her husband that sons may be born to her also. On hearing this request kṛṣṇa went to the mountain where the hermit upamanyu was engaged in penance. With that hermit who was an ardent devotee of śiva, as his teacher, kṛṣṇa began a penance before śiva, in accordance with his (Upamanyu's) advice. The penance, holding yogadaṇḍa and kapāla (devotee's staff and skull) lasted for a month. In the second month penance was performed standing on one leg and drinking only water. In the third month he did penance standing on toes only and using air as food. After six months Paramaśiva appeared and blessed him that his wives would have ten sons each. Accordingly jāmbavatī gave birth to her first son who was named sāmba. (devī bhāgavata, skandha 4).
